3. -- U.S. stocks on Monday U.S. fell amid concern that markets have risen too high this year, and that when the Federal Reserve does decide to pull back on its stimulus measures, equities could start to tumble.

The S&P 500 dipped 0.37% to 1,685.33 while the Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2% to 15,521.97. The Nasdaq declined 0.39% to 3,599.14.

4. -- Pfizer, the world's biggest drugmaker, posted second-quarter earnings that topped Wall Street estimates and said it it planned to separate its commercial operations into two units for branded products and a third unit for generic drugs.

Pfizer's generics business, which represents 17% of total sales, has far lower profit margins than its patent-protected drugs, according to Reuters. Analysts have been urged Pfizer to spin off its generics business, and this business split could lead to that.

Pfizer posted adjusted income of $4 billion, or 56 cents a share, down from year-earlier earnings of $4.45 billion, or 59 cents a share. Revenue fell 7% to $12.97 billion.

Analysts were expecting second-quarter income of 55 cents a share on revenue of $13.01 billion.

5. -- The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, in an enforcement notice, said JPMorgan Chase manipulated electricity prices in California and the Midwest in 2010 and 2011.

The commission accused JPMorgan of using improper bidding strategies to squeeze excessive payments from the agencies that run the power grids in California and the Midwest.

6. -- BP, the British oil giant, swung to second-quarter profit of $2 billion from a year-earlier loss but the earnings missed Wall Street forecasts.

7. -- Time Warner Cable late Monday announced a blackout of CBS programming in New York, Los Angeles and Dallas but then reversed the decision.

Time Warner Cable said around midnight EDT that roughly 3 million customers in those cities would lose the CBS network and four CBS cable stations because of "outrageous demands for fees" by CBS. But talks between the companies continued into the early morning hours on Tuesday; a Time Warner Cable spokeswoman said the company relented "at the request of CBS."
